Invoice Matching

Finance Officer begins with the actual accepted purchase lines and the supplier invoice reference. The matching action checks unused accepted scope before handing off the reviewed eligible amount. An invoice referring to an order does not establish that all requested material has been accepted or remains available for another match.

The invoice reference stays on the purchase line alongside accepted quantity and date. This gives the team a way to follow the financial claim back to the receiving evidence. The parent request identifies the supplier and commercial authorization used to understand that claim.

The downstream result needs its own evidence. The app does not fabricate a payment or a local inventory receipt when matching succeeds. Finance Officer follows the recorded operation result and the authoritative receiving system where a connection is configured, retaining the distinction between a reviewed handoff and the external system’s execution.

• Accepted basis. Finance Officer reads the line’s accepted quantity and date before matching. Requested quantity alone is insufficient to establish eligible invoiced scope.
• Unused scope check. The action prevents the same accepted scope from being consumed again. Repeated requests retain their operation identity and must not produce another eligible financial handoff.
• Reviewed handoff. Only the reviewed eligible amount proceeds to the configured downstream process. Its real reference and effect evidence support the result recorded in the operation receipt.

Agree how supplier invoice references are normalized and how Finance Officer identifies the exact accepted lines they concern. A similar invoice number from another supplier or request must not be enough to select the scope. Keep the reference and parent identity together during reconciliation.

Name the destination for the eligible amount and the person responsible for confirming its outcome. Agree the review evidence required before handoff and the procedure for an uncertain response. The external financial process retains responsibility for its own payment execution and any later compensation.

Use the purchase line where 80 components were accepted from a request for 100. Finance Officer matches an invoice reference only to the eligible accepted portion, then follows the reviewed handoff result. The unaccepted portion must not become eligible simply because it appeared on the original request.

Repeat the same matching command and attempt another match against scope already consumed. The action should preserve the original result and refuse duplicate use. Then try a reference associated with a different request and confirm that the parent check prevents an unrelated match.

Finally, rehearse an uncertain downstream response. Inspect the operation receipt and authoritative reference before requesting another effect. The team should be able to explain what has been reviewed and handed off without claiming that a payment occurred merely because the local action completed.

• Invoice References — Lines carrying an invoice reference with their accepted scope and parent request.
• Accepted Scope — Recorded accepted quantities and invoice references, including already matched lines; the matching action checks which scope remains unused.
• Receipt Exceptions — Pending, failed or disputed operation results needing investigation.

Use accept receipt and match invoice and reconcile operation evidence.
